This article introduces a variety of free-ranging meditations on the recent state of the Korean cinema as I have witnessed in my privileged position as a key insider to the Korean film industry. As someone with experience as a film journalist and a columnist for the weekly film magazine Cine21, I identify a common thread that unites a selection of Korean Cinema Today articles in an attempt to complement the academic essays in this special issue. By assessing the particular character and identity of Korean cinema in the “post-boom” years of 2007 to the present, I demonstrate how the industry has recovered some ground since 2007, when the industry faced widespread losses at the box office, the bursting of a film financing bubble and a steep drop in export revenues led many in the film industry to declare a crisis. Since then, although, there is still a sense that Korean cinema has entered a less bountiful era than the one that preceded it, a constantly evolving film landscape continues to offer hallenges of many kinds.
